Frequently Asked Questions
What are the operating temperature grades for the AD684?
It is available in J grade (0 to +70°C), A grade (-40°C to +85°C), and S grade (-55°C to +125°C) for different applications.
What is the maximum aperture jitter of this amplifier?
The minimum specified aperture jitter is 50 ps, while the typical value is 75 ps.
Can the AD684 sample high-impedance signals?
No, for best performance, use a low impedance signal source. An operational amplifier buffer (e.g., AD713) is required for sources over 5k ohms.
How many channels does the AD684 provide and what are their features?
It provides four complete sampling channels, each with an internal hold capacitor and independent inputs, outputs, and controls.
